Al-Isra 17:12 وجعلنا الليل والنهار ايتين فمحونا اية الليل وجعلنا اية النهار مبصرة لتبتغوا فضلا من ربكم ولتعلموا عدد السنين والحساب وكل شيء فصلناه تفصيلا ١٢

Chapter 17, Page 283, Juz 15

11. Man prayeth for evil as he prayeth for good; for man was ever hasty. 12. And We appoint the night and the day two portents. Then We make dark the portent of the night, and We make the portent of the day sight-giving, that ye may seek bounty from your Lord, and that ye may know the computation of the years, and the reckoning; and everything have We expounded with a clear expounding. 13. And every man's augury have We fastened to his own neck, and We shall bring forth for him on the Day of Resurrection a book which he will find wide open. 14. (And it will be said unto him): Read thy Book. Thy soul sufficeth as reckoner against thee this day.
